It’s all kicking off at Coronation Street as they plan to cram as many major storylines, twists and turns into the end of the year. In the run up to Christmas and in the beginning of the new year (hey, 2019 is just around the corner!), they are hitting us with all sorts from shocking deaths and explosive stunts to some heartbreaking devastation and some long awaited romance – hopefully!

And that’s before we get to the scandal of Roy Cropper apparently being caught dogging by the police. Yep, Corrie have something for everyone – amid their Christmas of fun, warmth and laughter, there is also unmissable drama.

Viewers have been hoping that Sally might come home for her turkey and stuffing with the family after her prison ordeal but according to Sally Dynevor, we might have to rule this out as things are looking bleak.

She warned Inside Soap: ‘I don’t think she’s going to have a happy Christmas. She thinks she’ll be home, and it just breaks my heart to think that she might not be at home on Christmas Day. Prison food!’
